This poor N1

Got this thing in at work today. It was an AT&T version. Scavenged the speaker for a coworker and LED board for a spare. but holy hell, this thing had a rough life. looks like it was roughly taken apart before I got to it. Makes me kind it sad. :-(

MURDER!!!! Why would anyone do such a poor thing to such a helpless device?

How did you get it?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App

the people that butcher these things can suck it imo.

imo we should have pulled the display just for S's&G's...

Is that huge piece of copper part of the flex circuit, or just a heat spreader under the battery?

Are you selling any parts? If that AMOLED/Digitizer is still apart (never been replaced/pulled apart) im willing to buy it.
I replaced mine, and the screen keeps getting dust under it. Once the digitizer is replaced, it's hard to keep dust from getting under it.

Both myself and crusher work for a used electronics reseller... its already on ebay... its broken though so you might be able to get it for cheap. The bids start @ $1
And no the diaplay/digitizer havent been separated.

Pm me the ebay link please.

me too please, I want the housing

Wow that was a powerful hack, what rom did you flash? Did you even do a nandroid backup before flashing? What recovery did you use?

I can PM you the eBay listing once it actually goes active. Don't really think there is anything usable from it. Whoever sent it in DESTROYED it.

Pretty much everything. Most of the ribbon connectors were messed up, all of the mounting screws and hardware were gone, wouldn't charge or power on, and it was just generally beat to hell.

Thin Pink Line - LCD broken?

My phone has developed a thin pink line running down the screen.
I have been on holiday on an island with no phone reception for a week so I didn't take the phone, so it's been at home without being touched.
Then I get back today, play around with it for only a few hours then this happens! It seemed to come on after a reboot.
At first I thought it was because I was playing with build.prop, but after restoring a backup it was still there. It's also there on the splash screen and in recovery, AND it's in the same position when I rotate my phone, so I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue.
The point of the island story is because I was wondering if a rapid change in temperature could have something to do with it? The phone has been very cold for the week of no usage, but has been getting hot today obviously after charging and playing with it
Does anyone know what could have caused it?
And is there any way to fix it? Or should I just start looking at prices for the galaxy nexus...

I am afraid you might have to send it to hTC for LCD repair.

nevermind, wrong section

Yup. This will have to go to HTC repairs.
I see you're rooted and have BlackIce ROM installed. I'd suggest flashing Stock RUU before sending it to them. (Warranty issues)
Cause of the problem : Maybe the temperature difference, although such problems are very hard to pinpoint. Even a minor speck or particle on the circuit board can wreck havoc at times.. I've had a PC monitor gone bad due to an ant crawling inside the system. :\

thanks for that, i already have my exit strategy planned with all of the un-OFF'ing and RUU flashing i'll have to do. I'll wait to hear from HTC before i do that, i hate Sense!
if anyone else comes across this because they have a dead or stuck pixel i found this app in the market. it didn't work for me, but maybe someone else will find it useful

Just eBay a new digitizer/LCD for DHD comes as one unit for about 40 quid ! You tube has a video on how to strip down the DHD,not a lot too it. It saved me a small fortune, some phone shop was trying to charge me 120 pounds !!!!

mate awesome idea, but i've had a look at a youtube video and it looks pretty full on. i'll have a think about it.
a phone repair place i called quoted me over $100 as well, but maybe it's worth it in case i completely screw something up!

Why even bother with repairing it yourself.
1. Why give yourself the hassle?
2. Why go to that expense?
All HTC phones have a 2 yr warranty get a stock rom on it, get it s on'd and get it sent back.
I've sent a few phones back to HTC and one of them was a HD2 with the same issue and the turn around and service was top notch

I'm afraid that my phone only had a 1 year warranty, and this happened in the 13th month of it's life I had a long discussion with HTC about their responsibility to make sure their hardware survives for a reasonable length of time, and could they extend the warranty, but they weren't interested. So I took it to a 3rd party repair place and they fixed it up for me for $110. It's worth it in the end, the phone will sell for more than that when I upgrade to my next phone.
Thanks for all of the replies everyone!

Hi. Did it turn out to be a hardware issue or did it just need a new screen. I have the same problem on my i9505 and am intending on buying a new screen.
Thanks.

this one has a blue tint even without touching. I admit that's little. But i'm trying to understand if it's something that can go away with time, or not. in case we can send back this and get another new one...
edit: the phone has never fallen. He opened the box, turned on the phone and noticed the blur some minutes after

i cant send it back i already broke the glass im not so lucky as you but atleast i can have clear whites from viewing straight.. you should defy send back

i think that maybe it's a "burn in display"...anyone can help me?

LCD doesn't have burn in issues like AMOLED or Plasma screens. It's either a minor defect (i can't see it in your pics) or it's a group of stuck pixels. Download an app called, "display tester" and run some of the screen tools. This will help you identify what the issue is and may resolve it with the tools in the app. it' important to keep in mind that these types of screens will play tricks on you. for some reason they have odd hues at certain angles.

i've already tried with an app called dead pixel detect and it didn't work. I can assure that there is a little blue blur on the middle right side of the screen ( i know it's difficult to see on a photo). I will try with "display tester" and let you know!
thanks

Update: ive tried with display tester...but i cant see dead pixel. I link you another photo of the display with grey background.
The blur is on middle right side of the phone

I'm confident you have stuck pixles or a damaged LCD. you can try to fix the stuck pixel by running an app for it, but typically it takes 24 hours or more to resolve the issue. You would have to play the image non-stop until it resolves its self (it might never resolve). with that said, you should try to get an RMA if possible. Google seems pretty lax on the RMAs.

[UPDATE] How to get your your N4 screen repaired in Austria

UPDATE:
After doing some calls today and figuring things out, here's a little guide for how to get your Nexus 4 repaired in Austria after smashing your screen.
1. Since smashing/damaging your screen is not covered by warranty (except for when it destroys itself) you can skip calling LG. They're not taking the phones back. Even worse, the first LG representative told me to contact Google for the matter, which would somehow be understandable if it would be a case of warranty...but definitely not when you're willing to pay for fixing the phone. The second LG customer supporter then forwarded me to the company Mobiletouch in Vienna.
2. The people at mobiletouch are an authorized service company for LG. Fixing your phone there will not void your warranty (this was confirmed by LG and Mobiletouch). It's probably not a mistake to give them a call or send them a E-Mail before sending the phone in for repair, however it doesn't seem to be required.
So, what is it going to cost? According to mobiletouch, the screen replacement will cost you between 100-120€s which seems fair to me.
Maybe this will help someone

Thanks, I'm more interested in the first option, especially since it might give me back the normal warranty. But yeah, if it's getting too expensive I might give it a try to fix it myself.

I'm getting it fixed here in Slovenia for 95€. If I bought it directly from the importer, that would cost me 80€ + warranty void.
http://www.vamatrade.com, the shipping costs from Austria should be miniscule...

Are you sure the screen is actually broken (if the glass is fine)? Perhaps you flashed something that set some weird screen color/gamma calibrations that's causing what you see?

Well that's what I'm finding strange as well, the screen is fine except for weird vertical lines that appear everywhere AND the resolution is definitely lower than before. Maybe it's the GPU that has taken the hit?

I think it is your hardware, GPU or your screen, just in my opinion. Anyway, before you send it back to Google, you have to flash stock, unroot and lock the bootloader again. I dont know if they have repair service (receive your phone, fix it then send it back). For me, I used RMA (they sent me a phone first, then I sent my phone back to them).
Sorry for not helping you anything

So, after making quite a few calls today i updated the post on how to get your N4 fixed in austria.
